Bow Wow has apparently been quite the philanthropist (while missing the point) in the rap game as of late, as he recently threatened to reveal which MCs owe him money. "yo! yall think 50 gotta long list of rappers owing hiM MONEY??!!!" he asked on Twitter on Thursday night (May 30). "IMA START NAMING RAPPERS THAT OWE ME AND BEEN RUNNING OFF WITH THE PAPE FOR 3 yrs! dont let that like mike s**t fool you! I WANT MY MONEY!!!! ima start naming u n***as." With a new collaboration with Chris Brown coming up soon, maybe that's part of Breezy's repayment plan.
Jokes and completely unfounded speculation aside, Bow Wow also has plenty to reflect on when it comes to how he made his money, such as his recent recollection of how T.I. helped craft his 2003 album, Unleashed. "This is before the King album, this is before A.T.L., this is young Tip... Me and Tip wrote that third album together with my man R.O.C.," he told The Art Of Dialogue, specifically clarifying that this was his first project without Jermaine Dupri's input and that he hit the Atlanta trap pioneer up after advice to do so from his A&R Kawan "KP" Prather.

"Me and Tip really kicked it,” Bow Wow continued. “We had moments, especially in the studio. Him giving me that freedom, him teaching me how to write. Cadence, bars, song structure, just everything. He was giving me the answers that I wanted Jermaine to give me. He was definitely a hundred in the studio. Tip was, that’s my dog. Even to this day, that’s my big bro right there." Despite his current legal dispute with Dupri's father, it's clear that whatever issues during or after Unleashed are water under the bridge.
Meanwhile, Bow Wow also reflected on kicking his lean habit, something which he thinks has really turned his life around. The only thing that could make it even better, it seems, is if all these alleged rappers start paying their debts. Maybe he'll spend the rest of his career looking for this. But maybe this isn't the exaggerated situation some folks might paint this as.
